Man mauled by dogs while others take video

An Australian man suffered severe injuries after being attacked by four dogs earlier this week, and he can’t believe witnesses didn’t help him.

According to the Herald Sun, the man was pinned up against a fence and attacked by four American Staffordshire terriers near his apartment. The attack occurred in Carlton, a Melbourne suburb, on Tuesday night.

The Herald Sun says the incident lasted 15 minutes, and passers-by took video instead of helping. The victim’s son, Vi, told the paper: “My father was very upset when he saw that they were taping the attack and not helping. … My father is very big and tall. Imagine if it was a child the dogs went for.”

Here’s some of that video. Warning: It’s graphic.

Eventually, a security guard took a stick to the dogs and two other men helped get between the dogs and the victim. He was taken to the hospital as “his clothes were ripped to shreds,” according to one witness.
